This video can arouse different emotions. You may perceive the whole idea as just something funny to look at, or as a nice guide to morning exercises, or as a bunch of weird guys doing some crazy stuff together. However, what it is is a nice video to teach North American kids patriotism. French Potatoes Lyonnaise and Potato Pancakes, English Chips, Bombay Potato Curry, German-style Potato Salad, Irish Potato Candy, Dutch Stewed Potatoes. Who didn’t fancy those? So delicious, so genuine. And while all the Europe keeps spreading self-promotion about its unique national cuisine, I’ll say “Who? I ask you, who taught you to eat potatoes?”. They even stole fries and called them French fries, while US is left with “Oh, come on, there is no such thing as American cuisine”! I could have forgiven them those fries if McDonald’s or KFC were not American, but with all that Quick, and Flunch, and Wienerwald, and Spizzico, and Big Bite Submarines and YO! Sushi I cannot.
Country Style Garlic Backed Potatoes
You will need:
10 Potatoes
¼ Garlic clove
¼ Glass vegetable oil
½ teaspoon Salt
Method:
1. Wash and scrub potatoes.
2. Cut potatoes into wedges, approximately 1 potato into 6 pieces.
3. Arrange potatoes on a baking sheet.
4. Preheat oven to 390 F. Place baking sheet into the oven.
5. Meanwhile peel garlic and crush it with the garlic press. Mix crushed garlic and salt with the oil in a glass.
Stir well.
6. Bake potatoes for 1 hr 20 minutes, until golden-brown.
7. Transfer baked potatoes into the pot. Pour garlic sauce on top.
8. Cover the pot. Shake potatoes well so that all wedges get covered with sauce.

The whole beauty of this dish is its simplicity, and garlic with oil gives it irresistible home-made flavor. Enjoy your dinner and never forget your roots.
Sincerely yours,
